"The OP came here for support & was basically called a liar"
IMO its comments like the above that make this a feeding frenzy, unfortunately I can't review/refer to all the recently deleted replies, but i pretty sure NO ONE called anybody a liar, implications don't count as they are very subjective. That is a pretty serious accusation to be tossing around without some solid proof. Some seem to take stock in we have only heard one side, others don't seem to care, and EVERYBODY agrees the money should be returned, but everybody is divided so far on whether there should a stake burning or a lynching. And anybody who thinks I am a fan of US Tools is totally clueless.
